Boudoir Atelier: Curiosity Refresh Workshop's 1st Boudoir Photography Workshop

Welcome, photographers, to a captivating journey that combines artistry, creativity, and expertise – the Boudoir Atelier Photography Workshop, hosted by Curiosity Refresh. This event marked our first-ever boudoir photography shootout, set against the unique backdrop of Venue 308, where creativity flourished, and moments of pure artistic brilliance were born. The afternoon promised an inspiring blend of skill-enhancing opportunities and the kind of community spirit that makes photography a truly collaborative experience.


The Venue: Calgary’s Venue 308

Venue 308, a historic brick building nestled in the heart of Calgary, is a masterpiece of charm and elegance. Its industrial-chic aesthetic—highlighted by weathered brick, lofty ceilings, and sun-drenched spaces—set the perfect stage for our Boudoir Atelier photography shootout. This captivating space provided photographers with endless possibilities, from intimate nooks perfect for soft, emotive portraits to wide, dramatic settings that elevated the artistry of boudoir photography.


The Experience: A Creative Playground

At the Boudoir Atelier Photography Workshop, photographers stepped into a world where every corner was curated to inspire. From vintage boudoir sets to modern minimalist designs, the diverse range of backdrops allowed participants to explore different boudoir styles, experiment with lighting, and create stunning images that told personal, intimate stories. Each photographer had the freedom to experiment with their vision, capturing unique moments that reflected both their artistry and the story of each model.




Diversity in Focus: A Celebration of All Forms

One of the standout elements of this shootout was the incredible diversity of the models. Representing a beautiful spectrum of ages, genders, body types, and ethnicities, the models brought authenticity and depth to every photograph. We were honored to work with an inspiring group of men, women, and even a radiant maternity model, adding layers of storytelling to each shot. Boudoir isn’t just about intimacy; it’s about embracing confidence, beauty, and vulnerability in every form.

The Craft: Mastering Boudoir Photography

Boudoir photography requires an artful approach to capture the nuances of emotion, sensuality, and grace. Throughout the workshop, photographers received hands-on guidance, learning essential techniques to enhance their craft. From mastering soft, natural light to perfecting the art of posing, our expert mentors were on hand to help photographers develop their skills and learn how to create boudoir images that exude both beauty and sophistication.


Capturing the Moment: Emotions in Focus

At its core, boudoir photography is about capturing fleeting moments of raw beauty. It's more than just a click of the camera—it’s about freezing emotion in time, creating images that evoke feeling, and telling the unique story of each subject. In this workshop, every shutter click was an opportunity to capture an intimate narrative, immortalizing moments of joy, vulnerability, and self-expression.


Fostering Community and Growth

At Curiosity Refresh Workshops, we believe that photography is more than just an art form—it’s a way to build community, foster personal growth, and inspire collaboration. Our shootouts provide a space where photographers of all levels can connect with one another, share ideas, and grow their craft in a supportive environment. These interactions create long-lasting friendships and professional partnerships, helping everyone thrive creatively and professionally.
